Seems I didn't make myself clear enough. I know what UDP is and I did 
wanted to refer to new clients per second. My apologies :)

I grabbed a log of what was blocked this evening cause I had various 
spikes again. (Not as large as the one yesterday)

This with a policy of 10 new clients allowed (average) every second with 
a maximum burst of 60. It seems this is a little small taken. I changed
